I am so happy to be where I am in my life right now. I will be starting a teaching contract in the Spring, just part time (Mondays and Fridays) and it's making me appreciate my stay at home mom life all the more. Today I got to take Acadia's temperature and send her to bed at lunch time with some tylenol, then listen to
Blaise's theory on why the dinosaurs went extinct (God sent a meteor because the tyrannosauruses would have eaten all the people He wanted to create).

Earlier we got groceries and then went to Zaak's school to meet with the French teacher I'm taking over for. We interrupted Zaak's math class to say hi, and it's so funny how his students asked incredulously "these are your kids!?" It kills me how students view teachers as such flat characters, without families and homes :)

I've sworn off FB and email after 8 pm for Lent and last night it made me a little grumpy. I've never really observed Lent before this year, and I think it will be really good for me :) I looked for a recipe for a birthday cake for Zaak and found some good resources for Blaise's home school instead!

Here's a photo of my little boy last week BEFORE he got hit with this wicked (evil!) flu virus! I can't bear to take a picture of him now, all pale with dark circles under his eyes and scrawny looking. So after 4 days of vomiting and stress, he is on the mend. I fed him a spoonful of broth this a.m. and he said "Yum! That tastes like mushroom soup!" I was so thankful I about burst into tears. There is truly NOTHING in the world like when your child is sick. I hope my daughter, husband and I manage to evade Blaise's bug and all will be as it should be again.
